NSWRPF Archive Exiles - (a massive crossover)

OOC: Dubya, it isn't just you, me and a bunch of others are having the same trouble.

The Boards are suffering Severe technical problems today that they need to get right on. Hopefully it'll be all better tomorrow...

 

me too

 

OoC: Well, we do have a new tech admin.

 

IC: Debgate, Lara Croft

"Just a little blue light?! I am not just a little blue light. I'm Navi, the Faerie Guardian to the hero of time. Maybe you should show some respect."

The tall Shaman backed off suddenly, drawing in breath like she had narrowly missed hurting herself seriously, and in a sense she had; back where she came from, there were Wisps, aggressive motes of light like this one, though non-speaking.

The little bastards were invulnerable to most weaponry too, so she kept her distance, regarding the ?Faerie Guardian? warily, and quickly brought a DoT (Damage over Time) spell to the forefront of her mind in case the thing attacked.
She might not prevail, but there would be tears before bedtime for the faerie too.

Lara on the other hand, didn?t miss her partner?s reaction to the thing?s arrival, and inclined her head towards it in the asked for sow of respect, while leaving her hand with .

?Cry your pardon, Faerie Guardian. We did not mean to interrupt. I am most pleased to make your acquaintance.?

Then despite herself, she ignored the sprite as ninety feet of mechanical biped stepped into the arena, and pulled one massive blaster out.

"Ironhide!" it called out, hoping for a response. "Bumblebee! Grimlock! Mirage! Anyone? Are you here?"

?Faerie Guardian?? She said, still talking to the self-aware light source. ?I think you have just got outclassed, Girlfriend.?

Tag: Navi, Gideon

 

I'm having problems, too.

 

*Jumps on the 'yeah, me too' bandwagon*

Yeah, me too. No stylesheets, no pictures, ages to load any thread pages, and there are some pages apparently down, but....I'm 007 Family, and we post whatever the frell is going on.

 

IC: Iron Man

"My name is Iron Man but I am no knight." he replied. "And I have no idea what is this place is or what we are doing here."

He looked around and noticed a robot watching him. Watching his every move. But he chose to ignore it, dealing with this would present itself later. Then he turned back to Galahad.

"It could be some sort of trick, but who could pull this off?" he said. "My apologies sir, I forget to ask you your name." "Tell me something sir, what does one of your stature do in your homeworld?"

 

IC: Galahad

"It could be some sort of trick, but who could pull this off?" said the personage calling himself Iron Man. "My apologies sir, I forget to ask you your name." "Tell me something sir, what does one of your stature do in your homeworld?"

Galahad gave a short bow from the saddle of his horse. "A pleasure, Man of Iron. As for my own name, I am Sir Galahad, of the Line of Joseph of Aramathea, High Prince of Lower Brittany and the Isle of Avalon." This was spoken with some pride, as he had only been knighted two months past.

"For thy second question, I know not what thou meaneth by 'homeworld', but I am a knight of the holy realm of Logres. Presently, I am on errancy. Forgive me, sir, if thou should think me discourteous, but thou speaketh strangely, in a tongue like unto our own Low English. Is this normal in thy homeland?"

TAG: Iron Man, others.

OOC: On the troubles with the boards, I'm afraid I have to say: ditto.

 

IC: Navi

?Cry your pardon, Faerie Guardian. We did not mean to interrupt. I am most pleased to make your acquaintance.?

"Nice to meet you too," Navi said to the young lady, while glaring daggers, not that anyone without a very keen eye would notice, at her companion.

?Faerie Guardian?? She said, still talking to the self-aware light source. ?I think you have just got outclassed, Girlfriend.?

Navi turned to see the massive automaton in front of her. Not sure of its intentions, although it certainly seemed the most dangerous entity in the room, Navi fluttered up by its head, hoping to study it and determine its weaknesses in case it attacked.

Tag: Optimus Prime

 

IC: Iron Man

"A pleasure to meet you High Prince Galahad." Iron Man replied. "I am not familiar with your term Low English. But to answer your question Prince, in my homeland yes everyone speaks like this."

Iron Man still cautious of his surroundings took a step toward Galahad. Studying his armor, his weaponary he spoke...

"Prince, if I may so bold to inquire who is the one you follow....your leader.........your king?"

TAG: Galahad, anyone

 

IC: Galahad

"Prince, if I may so bold to inquire who is the one you follow....your leader.........your king?" asked the Iron Man, moving slightly closer.

Galahad swung his leg over the side of his war-horse, and jumped down with a jangle of spurs. He patted his horse on the flank, tying down his lance on the saddle. Then he turned to the other man.

"My king, thou asketh? It is strange to me that thou hast never heard...but no matter. The name of my liege lord is Arthur Pendragon, son and heir of Uther Pendragon, Lord of Camelot, and all England. I was riding for his glory, that of Camelot, and that of my own name, when I was taken here, by whose hand I know not. But it seemeth to me that this is some great enchantment. But then where is the enchanter? I only hope 'tis not Morgana Le Fay, my King's sister. Mayhaps 'tis Merlin, but Merlin has not been seen nor heard from these past five years...yet he walks where he will, they say, and his mind and purpose are strange to we of the Round Table. What of thee, Man of the Iron Armor? What king dost thou follow in thy strange country? Perhaps thou canst shed some light on this darkness."

TAG: Iron Man, Roland of Gil'ead, Arturia, anyone connected with King Arthur.

 

IC: Iron Man

"We have many people we follow. A very large chain of command or ranks. But at the top would be the President or the Liege Lord." Iron Man replied. "I myself could be considered a knight among many. We protect our country from evil, invaders, darkness...

Perplexed Ironman quickly asked before Galahad could answer...

"Prince, are you one of Arthur's knights?" Iron Man asked. "The Great Knights I have heard in stories as a child? "The ones that sit at the round table?"

Ironman already knew the answer. But he had to be certain. If this prince was indeed one of the mythical kinghts that served the legendary Arthur that certaintly past had indeed meet present.

Tag: Galahad, anyone

 

IC: V
Unknown Location

V searched around, looking for someone to speak to. Not one who looked like they didn't know, one who looked like they knew their way around the block, a strong being who could fend for his/her own self. Familiarity was essential, especially if you didn't know how much longer you were going to be around these people. An hour? A month? Years? One could not know, but perhaps this one did. V spotted a man with short blonde hair and definitive green eyes. But what really made him stand out was the large scar starting on the left side of his forehead and ending at the right side of his nose. This man was apt to know his way around.

"Excuse me," V said, stroding up to the gentleman. "It is a very good pleasure to meet you." V extended a gloved hand.

IC: Saber

"Well," Bond said simply. "I hope we get this settled soon. I'm meeting a woman at Casino Royale tonight." He reached into his jacket, pulled out a silver cigarette case, and opened it. He drew a cigarette from the case and lit it as he slid the case back into his jacket.

Saber nodded at his sentiment. "And I must return to my place of origin quickly as well. My master and..." she paused for a second, trying to find a suitible way to address Shirou. "friend need my help. We were in the middle of battle when I was caught by the dark pink light."

Before Bond could answer, however, a conversation not too far from where they stood but behind them, caught Saber's ears.

The name of my liege lord is Arthur Pendragon, son and heir of Uther Pendragon, Lord of Camelot, and all England. I was riding for his glory, that of Camelot, and that of my own name, when I was taken here, by whose hand I know not. But it seemeth to me that this is some great enchantment. But then where is the enchanter? I only hope 'tis not Morgana Le Fay, my King's sister. Mayhaps 'tis Merlin, but Merlin has not been seen nor heard from these past five years...yet he walks where he will, they say, and his mind and purpose are strange to we of the Round Table. What of thee, Man of the Iron Armor? What king dost thou follow in thy strange country? Perhaps thou canst shed some light on this darkness."

Saber turend quickly at the mention of the occurances of her life, even if off by gender. What assaulted her eyes was a man that looked not unlike her prior existence's Sir Galahad.

How? How could a Knight of the Round be brought here? her next thoughts, however, were towards her own safety. His Arthur was female, he is not from my realm...however, he bears a striking resemblance to my world's Galahad...I can only hope, for my own sake as a Servant, that he cannot recognize myself as a female form of his King.

TAG: Bond, anyone else

IC: Galahad

"Prince, are you one of Arthur's knights?" Iron Man asked. "The Great Knights I have heard in stories as a child? "The ones that sit at the round table?"

Galahad furrowed his brow. "Thou hast heard of us as a child? This is a very great enchantment, indeed. But yes, we sit at the round table, given to King Arthur by the father of Queen Guinevere as part of the dowery. Aye, I think it may well be that we are those of whom thou speakest. As for your King, this...Prez Il Dent, bring him my greetings, and those of Logres, when once thou returneth to thine own home court...whenever that may be."

Galahad glanced around, looking, once again, for the orchestrator of this great enchantment, then turned back to Iron Man.

"There are many knights in thy land, thou spake. Dost thou see any of thy comrades about us? I have sighted none of my comrades of the round table...unless it be that maiden there..." Galahad peered at the woman with the sword intently. Finally, he shrugged.

"Nay, 'twas but a passing resemblance," he continued. "Her face seems oddly familiar, but I must be mistaken. Canst thou be certain of any comrade of thine, Iron Knight?"

TAG: Iron Man, others.

 

OOC: Heh, one note about Saber/Arturia: She's trying to conceal her identity at the moment so you wouldn't be seeing her sword. She would be using the invisible blade which uses wind to change light refraction around the blade...making it invisible. She is surely holding a sword, but you can't see it.

I mean, if Galahad could see her actual sword Galahad would no doubt immediately recognize it as Excalibur.

~*!~-~DOCTOR BEAR~-~!*~

 

OOC: Woops. Beg pardon. Actually, not necessarily, though, on Excalibur. Galahad would have only seen Arthur's sword once, and that was a fake, created by Morgana Le Fay. But anyway, I know nothing about the Saber character. Could Galahad even recognize her in the slightest?

 

IC: Gideon Wyeth

Gideon watched the "fairy" leave them and go to a huge robotic monstrosity. Turning back to the women, he said, "This gets weirder and weirder. Any theories on where we are?"

TAG: Debgate, Lara Croft

 

OOC: He's seen Arthur, right? She's just a young Arthur in the form of a female. As far as I can tell, their legends are pretty much the same except for gender on the part of Arthur. Which affects the overall end to the Legend, but, I would say, not the Lancelot/Galahad parts. So I place it that there is a Galahad in her legend.

So, as long as he's seen Arthur enough to pull him out of a crowd then he could at least recognize Saber as a female Arthur, eventually. Not right away, but eventually.

~*!~-~DOCTOR BEAR~-~!*~

 

OOC: Gotcha. Thanks for the info.

 

IC: Ironman

Ironman scanned the dark room. Hoping to see someone, anyone that he knew...

"I see no one here that I am familiar with prince." answered Ironman. "Perhaps the one being that brought us here has chosen to bring none of our comrades.."

TAG: Galahad, others

 

IC: Galahad

"I see no one here that I am familiar with prince." answered Ironman. "Perhaps the one being that brought us here has chosen to bring none of our comrades.."
Galahad nodded. "Thou speaketh truly," he said. "I had not thought of that. But there must be some purpose behind this enchantment, for truly, to transport different warriors, from different places, from different times, to this darkness is an incredible feat."

TAG: Iron Man, others.

 

IC: Optimus Prime

Prime stood up in robot form, surveying his surroundings. He saw nothing familiar, and was greatly perplexed. No Autobots were with him. Had Megatron succeeding in separating him from the other Autobots? In any case, it seemed his entrance, and his calling out, had grabbed the attention of several around him.

Towards prime fluttered a small, almost invisible little being. Prime moved his head, just a bit, to follow the motion as the being studied him. Perhaps recording him, perhaps investigating, perhaps mocking. It was, at this point, impossible to tell. But he'd seen a trick like this out of Megatron a bit too often to shrug it off at nothing.

He spoke, with booming authority, to the small being, hoping to get a peaceful resolution.

"You there, mysterious being. Are you friend, or foe?"

Tag: Navi

 

OOC: Wow! I'm incredibly happy at how this is quickly turning out to closely resemble the actual "Exiles" comic book that inspired this RPG. Has anyone ever read those comics?

The whole "King Arthur legend" situation is great. And the fact that the smallest character (Navi) and the largest character (Optimus Prime) are interacting is fantastic. I think we're off to a great start, everyone. Lots of good interactions happening. Keep up the good work (despite all the TF.N technical difficulties)!

[b]IC: as James Bond[/b]

As Bond puffed on his cigarette, he said, "I could really go for a martini right about now." As he continued to look around at all the strange-looking people, he almost dropped his cigarette when he noticed the enormous robot behind him. He was speechless.

Bond was beginning to think that Q Branch had absolutely nothing to do with this whole situation...

[b]TAG: Saber, maybe Prime...[/b]





[hr]
[b]IC: as the Steel Clan Robot[/b]

His attention suddenly turned from the red-and-yellow-armored-man to the person to which he was speaking.

All the talk about Avalon and King Arthur Pendragon quickly accessed data within the Steel Clan Robot's memory banks. The gargoyles had traveled to a magical island called [i]Avalon[/i], and they had met someone named [i]Arthur Pendragon[/i] on their journeys. David Xanatos had input all that data into his CPU.

And, with the high-powered microphones implanted in his metal ears, he could pick up other conversations as well. The word `fairies` caught his attention. Accessing for data, he found information on fairies... Oberon, Titania, Puck, Fox, baby Alex, the Weird Sisters... All this data was rapidly processing within the gargoyle-like robot.

Something odd was definately happening with this entire scenario.

[b]TAG: those of you who might notice a gargoyle-like robot looking at you...[/b]





[hr]
[b]OOC:[/b] This is great. Keep up the interactions a little bit longer if possible. The Timebroker will make his entrance soon (in my post tomorrow). [face_wink]

 

IC: Navi

"You there, mysterious being. Are you friend, or foe?"

The voice boomed, and the vibrations might have slammed the tiny faery into a wall...had there been any. Nonetheless, she stood her ground, continuing to try and assess the gigantic being. She knew a thing or two about the monsters prowling Hyrule, and she had heard about 'Iron Knuckles', even seen a picture once. This...thing, looked sort of like one, only much bigger and not armed with a giant axe. She fluttered around it, searching for a weakness should it become a danger.

"I could ask you the same question." Navi asked.
